Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound frozen whole green beans The base of the dish, providing fiber and nutrients.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds richness and helps in roasting.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors in the dish.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Offers a subtle heat to balance the richness.
  • 3 cloves garlic Brings in a fragrant, savory depth to the green beans.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Adds an extra layer of flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Gives a hint of spice that elevates the dish.
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese Adds a rich, cheesy flavor; can substitute with nutritional yeast for a vegan option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 450℉ and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss frozen green beans with olive oil, garlic, and seasonings (except Parmesan).
  3. Once fully coated, place the beans in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 12 minutes, then shake the pan and sprinkle with Parmesan.
  2. Bake for another 9-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. For extra crispy green beans, broil for 3 minutes before serving!

Notes

Ensure your green beans are frozen; thawed beans will lose their crispness. Use a high-quality olive oil for the best flavor. Experiment with different cheeses for variations in taste.
